Man Chatter

This episode, the boys catch up before Thanksgiving as the family comes into town for Jonathan. Ben plans his first Covid Thanksgiving with his wife and him. This year has been crazy and just trying to keep our families safe.

Ben reviews Elijah Craig BarrelProof whiskey as it was recommended my a coworker that is a legit whiskey connoisseur. Jon talks about his first real experience smoking a brisket and Ben thinks out how he's going to smoke his first ever turkey,

Happy Thanksgiving from Man Chatter! Enjoy!

This episode, we talk about smoking our first turkey, this thanksgiving will be like no other in our families. We will all be eating at home with smaller groups than usual.

Than we somehow get onto the conversation of the old show from CBS "Numb3rs". We were both big fans of the show back in the day, and now all episodes are streaming on Hulu.

Of course random conversations always happened when whiskey is involved.

Enjoy!

This episode the boys come back after their time off, Ben took some much needed vacation and Jon spent time with the family.

Ben talks about snorkeling (his new found love) going swimming in springs here in Florida. Jon talks about almost drowning in waist deep water to most humans, neck deep for him.

The boys talk about the craziness happening with the election and marches against democracy. Someone has to lose in every election, just take the orange L home with you.

Finally, Ben talks about binging "Brooklyn 99" on Hulu. He's on season 3 episode 9. SO NO SPOILERS!!

Enjoy!

This episode, Jon catches us up on the latest with his son being sick (hoping it wasn't Covid-19). Then he tells us about the new Borat movie available on Amazon Prime.

Jared Kushner shows once again how he lacks complete empathy, and lack of awareness by his appearance on Fox News. He said that everyone who's poor is to blame for their own position, and they're simply lazy.

Then we get into the meat of the podcast where we discuss the firing of Josep Maria Bartomeu from his debacle of destruction at the one of the greatest clubs in European soccer history.

The cowardice of the his resignation letter mentioning the end of Pro/Rel for major clubs in a locked European Super-league?!

We also talk about how we think Promotion/ Relegation should be in all sports across the U.S. to show real Capitalism and having teama and organizations pick themselves up by the bootstraps.

This episode was heavily influenced by the amazing podcast "Total Soccer Show". Daryl Grove the co-host recently passed after a hard fought battle with cancer. Ben actually learned a lot of how to watch and understand the game listening to Taylor and Daryl breakdown games and the different positions. The sport of soccer/futbol was made better by Daryl breathing his joy into every single show!

This episode the boys catch up on the past sports weekend. Ben had to tell Jon about his new tech hardware "Google Chromecast". Ben couldn't believer how much better it processes even with his slow internet.

Ben gloats about his Real Madrid victory in "El Clasico" it's the biggest rivalry in Spain featuring two of the biggest clubs in the world. Barcelona just didn't look the same and Messi is relied upon too heavily. Ramos showed his strength and dominance in his Madrid Captaincy.

Finally, we recap and honor THE GOAT Khabib Nurmagomedov 29-0 dominance over his UFC/MMA career. We knew it would be tough after the loss of his father to Covid-19, and he honored him with one of his most dominant performances against a great opponent in Justin Gaethje.

This episode Ben holds it down again! Jon is off being Super Dad, so Ben gets the freedom to talk his sh*t!

Real Madrid has been struggling as of late two bad losses against subpar opposition. Where do "Los Vikingos" go from here? With no creativity going forward, is it too early to look ahead to next season?

This week early voting began in Florida. Ben filled out his mail in ballot and dropped it off at the local elections office. But that stop his wife and him from being harassed by a local "Karen"?!

This episode we begin the show discussing the horrific tackle of Jordan Pickford on Virgil Van Dijk. How will this be looked at going forward, is it no holds barred when any player if offsides? The FA and VAR has to have a better reasoning for not looking at the foul.

Jon openly sobs about the Lomachenko loss against Teofimo Lopez.

Ben then discusses his love and admiration of Brian "TCity" Ortega against The Korean Zombie. Ben talks about the anxiety he was feeling after not seeing Ortega fight in over 22 months.

This episode Ben holds his down all on his own. It was nice not having "Sweater Vest Vallejo" to interrupt his rants. I am not sure why I am writing this in the 3rd person, but it feels good.

Ben talks about the most creative and best show on TV in "Lovecraft Country" and their recent take on the Tulsa Massacre in 1921. That creativity is inspirational but seeing the horrific atrocities were bone chilling.

Also Ben wonders what gives men the right to tell women what to do with their own bodies. If a man can't have a period he can't tell any woman what to do. You ever tried telling your own mother what to do?! Let me know how that works out for you.

In closing Ben covers the NBA Finals and the great run by Miami Heat. Giving props to Commissioner Adam Silver keeping everyone safe in the bubble.

This episode we talk about the way "Southern Pride" is misrepresented with a treasonous flag. Ben came across a Youtube clip of teenagers taking a picture with the confederate flag with no thought as to how it affects men and women of color.

We discuss as to why the "Daughters of the confederacy" were given the right to dictate the terms as to how their history would be told. Why the the confederate Vice- President Alexander Stevens Keystone speech was all about ownership of the "negroes".

We finally lighten it up with jokes about Jonathan's height, and the old age debate of Lebron Vs. MJ.

Congrats to Lebron on his 4th NBA Title!! Hell of a season by Ben's MIAMI HEAT!!

This episode the boys recap the crazy week that was. They couldn't believe that a terrorist organization actively tried to kidnap the Governor of Michigan.

Jonathan illuminates Ben on the social safety that Cubans receive being political refugees.

Ben and Jonathan both discuss the false propaganda that we'd always been told about Socialism in Authoritarian countries.

In closing the Jordan and Lebron debate, once again. Ben believes that LBJ is a GOAT and should be respected as such, and Jonathan believes MJ will never be knocked off the pedestal!
